STOP buying contaminated Chinese CRAP! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1556306 United States 11/17/2011 07:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We all seem to know that the junk from China is unsafe. They have a terrible record of using poisons (lead, melamine etc.) in their products. Quoting: NoKnow99 5547596 So why do we keep buying it?! They are taking our money, selling us substandard crap that breaks, poison us with lead and Americans can't get enough. Our landfills are filled with Chinese crap. I had to go through the kids' candy at Hall-o-ween because some of the candy is made in China!? The soft kill is so much easier...poison works slow, kills you in 15 years or shaves a few IQ points off your kids and we are too dumb to care. Pay the extra $1 or 2....buy from anywhere else. So why do you buy Chinese crap? Probably because almost all businesses are involved with outsourcing manufacturing to China. |

Also toys made in Germany or Sweden don't seem to have the horrible track record that China has. In China if they run out of the approved chemical they will substitute with another. Which leads to contaminated toys...aqua dots comes to mind. Their own workers got lead poisoning at aluminum foil factories.....wait aluminum foil is used for food, why was there lead there? |

I try to keep jobs in countries I approve of, by buying products from there. I do feel bad for the people working in the "sweat shop" countries. I don't want them to loose their job either. What a tangled web. There are sweat shops in America. How can a consumer do the right thing anymore? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1456659 Australia 11/17/2011 08:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | On a similar thread of ideals I used to buy alot of generic food from supermarkets.. like homebrand in woolworths here or savings brand.. black n gold etc store brand stuff with no fancy packets you know.. people used to frown upon it but I liked it.. the stuff was still made in australia or newzealand or some other country but still tasted pretty good ive now stopped buying such a thing.. not because of where its made but because its tasteless CRAP now seriously.. cheap brand peanut butter used to taste good generic brand fish portions used to taste pretty good too and the list goes on now? within the last 2 years.. its all gone to china I got nothing against the chinese.. but peanut butter in the same jar as its always been but made in china is pale.. slightly sweeter than it should be.. and has almost no taste I mean dont get me wrong. I specificly shop IN asian stores when I go shopping alot of times.. theres nothing wrong with food made in china and asia respectively.. i'll go as far as to say its good stuff but these western supermarkets outsourcing generic brand stuff that NOW is made in china.. that stuff got nasty real quick.. strangely enough the made in china "fish sticks" as you would call them. fish fingers here. .have the same semi sweet taste to them as the peanut butter has.. I dont know what it is that makes them that way.. but its not nice at all if I want stuff made in china.. I buy stuff made in china. with chinese on the box in a proper asian supermarket.. |

NoKnow99 (OP) User ID: 5547596 United States 11/17/2011 08:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Does anyone even look for an alternative product? Like if you are buying canned mushrooms, do you look to see if there is an US made brand? Or socks made in USA? I was at W*!mart and I bought for $1 more USA socks. As for food, even brands that were USA changed to china this year, I noticed. |

Honestly I think things are going great. LOL I need that. Yeah, good luck, my p-doc is old school and has me on script for straight dextroamphetamine. The newer anti-depressants and mind/mood altering drugs are REALLY shady. At least with this stuff you know what you are getting into. |

I'll have to check that out here. I used to buy more off brand things but like you I found they taste like sh!t now. Also, I got sick from an off brand product twice. The first time I thought I just caught something. Second time, I realized I had eaten the exact same product. I still buy off brand but I'm careful now. I also like Asian markets, I'm mostly concerned with the cheap crap they make especially for export, like toys and consumer products and candy. I do have concerns for the food because of the contaminated water and soil but hey that's everywhere now. |
